New board members often face the challenge of moving from a hands-on executive to a strategist mindset. Directors Academy is a one day corporate governance focused program for new board members. This program provides an intensive and highly-focused interactive dialogue between participants and leading executives, corporate directors, policy makers, legal and financial services experts on critical issues facing boards today. The small, targeted environment affords peer to peer exchange and the opportunity for participants to connect with sitting, seasoned board members.

Directors Academy is held twice annually in the fall and spring. Upon completion of two Directors Academy programs, participants are awarded a Certificate in Director Education and walk away with an understanding of the increasingly complex and ever-changing role of a corporate board member prepared to contribute to discussions occurring in the boardroom.
